“I pretty much knew we were going to win, but there’s no way I can really say that without sounding like a cocky pain … and I don’t like sounding that way,” Myers Park coach Mimi Goudes said.

“Yes, I had swimmers that won lots … but there were several kids that swam the best they ever did tonight, and qualified for the regionals. That’s going to give us more bodies in the water next week.”

Jack Smith won two individual events for Myers Park, repeating his titles in the boys 200-yard individual medley and 100-yard butterfly. He also swam legs on the Mustangs’ winning 200-yard medley relay and 400-yard freestyle relay teams.

“We knew there would be some competition, but we swam really great tonight,” said Smith, a South Carolina signee who was named the SW 4A’s boys swimmer of the year.

“This is going to be a big confidence booster for us. We had a bunch of people get times for next week’s meet as well.”
